PART I

I
TRUE or FALSE. Answer TRUE if the statement is true, or FALSE if the statement is false.
Explain your answer in not more than two (2) sentences. (5%)
[a] Amado, convicted of rape but granted an absolute pardon by the President, and one year
thereafter, convicted of homicide, is a recidivist.

SUGGESTED ANSWER:

True. Rape is now a crime against persons and, like the crime of homicide, is
embraced in the same Title of the Revised Penal Code under which Amado had been
previously convicted by final judgment. The absolute pardon granted him for rape, only
excused him from serving the sentence for rape but did not erase the effects of the
conviction therefore unless expressly remitted by the pardon.

[b] The creditor who resorts to forced labor of a child under the pretext of reimbursing
himself for the debt incurred by the child's father commits the crime of slavery.

SUGGESTED ANSWER:

False. The proper offense is exploitation of child labor (Art. 273, RPC). Exploitation of
child labor is committed by a person, who under the pretext of reimbursing himself of a debt
incurred by an ascendant, guardian or person entrusted with the custody of a minor, shall
against the minor's will, retain him in his services.

[c] The use of an unlicensed firearm in homicide is considered a generic aggravating
circumstance which can be offset by an ordinary mitigating circumstance.

SUGGESTED ANSWER:

False. Offsetting may not take place because the use of an unlicensed firearm in
homicide or murder is a specific aggravating circumstance provided for by Rep. Act No. 8294.
It is not one of the generic aggravating circumstances under Art.14 of the Revised Penal Code
(People v. Avecilla, 351 SCRA 635 [20011).

[d] A person who, on the occasion of a robbery, kills a bystander by accident is liable for two
separate crimes: robbery and reckless imprudence resulting in homicide.

SUGGESTED ANSWER:

False. Only one crime of robbery with homicide is constituted because the Revised
Penal Code punishes the crimes as only one indivisible offense when-a killing, whether

intentional or accidental, was committed by reason or on occasion of a robbery (Art. 294[1],
RPC; People v. Mabasa, 65 Phil. 568 [1938]).

[e] A policeman who, without a judicial order, enters a private house over the owner's
opposition is guilty of trespass to dwelling.

SUGGESTED ANSWER:
False. The crime committed by the policeman in this case is violation of domicile
because the official duties of a policeman carry with it an authority to make searches and
seizure upon judicial order. He is therefore acting under color of his official authority (Art.
128, RPC).

II

Antero Makabayan was convicted of the crime of Rebellion. While serving sentence, he
escaped from jail. Captured, he was charged with, and convicted of, Evasion of Service of Sentence.
Thereafter, the President of the Philippines issued an amnesty proclamation for the offense of
Rebellion. Antero applied for and was granted the benefit of the amnesty proclamation.
Antero then filed a petition for habeas corpus, praying for his immediate release from
confinement. He claims that the amnesty extends to the offense of evasion of Service of Sentence. As
judge, will you grant the petition? Discuss fully. (4%)

SUGGESTED ANSWER:

Yes, I will grant the petition because the sentence that was evaded proceeded from the
crime of Rebellion which has been obliterated by the grant of amnesty to the offender (Art. 89
[3], RPC).
Since the amnesty erased the criminal complexion of the act committed by the
offender as a crime of rebellion and rendered such act as though innocent, the sentence lost
its legal basis. The purported evasion thereof therefore cannot subsist (People v. Patriarca,
341 SCRA 464[2000]).
Amnesty obliterates, not only the basis of conviction, but also all the legal effects
thereof.

Rigoberto gate-crashed the 71st birthday party of Judge • Lorenzo. Armed with a piece
of wood commonly known as dos por dos, Rigoberto hit Judge Lorenzo on the back, causing
the latter's hospitalization for 30 days. Upon investigation, it appeared that Rigoberto had a
grudge against Judge Lorenzo who, two years earlier,. had cited Rigoberto in contempt and
ordered his imprisonment for three (3) days.

No. He has retired (71 yrs. 873. which
states that lawyers in the actual performance of their professional duties or on the occasion
of such performance shall be deemed persons in authority. Brad. the answer would not be the same. Rigoberto is guilty of Direct Assault because the employment of violence was by
reason of an actual performance of a duty by the offended party acting as a practicing lawyer. Charlie went to a veterinarian and asked for some poison on the pretext that it
would be used to kill a very sick. unknown to
him. he prosecuted Rigoberto and succeeded in sending him to
jail for one year? Explain your answer. Hence. (3%)
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
Yes. old dog.
[b] Would your answer be the same if Brad proved to be allergic to the powder. Actually. what and why? If not. would have constituted murder which is a
crime against persons. done with intent to kill. the attack on him cannot be regarded as against a
person in authority anymore. 2.SUGGESTED ANSWER:
No.
IV
Charlie hated his classmate. But the crime having been
committed 10 years ago. when mixed with Brad's
food. His act of mixing the non-toxic
powder with Brad's food. may have already prescribed because it is punishable by a
correctional penalty. Rigoberto is not guilty of Direct Assault because Judge Lorenzo has ceased to be a
judge when he was attacked.4. criminally liable for less
serious physical injuries because his act of mixing the powder with Brad's food was done with
. and after
ingesting it with his food.
[b] Would your answer be the same if the reason for the attack was that when Judge Lorenzo
was still a practicing lawyer ten years ago. Charlie intended to use the poison on Brad.
[a] Did Charlie commit any crime? If so. is ineffectual (Art. because the latter was assiduously courting Lily. old) from his position as a person in

constitute attempted murder." Later. Liability for an impossible crime can only arise from a
consummated act. 18. In other words.Explain. Because Ruben
also resented Freddie.
[b] Would your answer be the same if. Such cooperation is not indispensable to the killing. The answer would not be the same because Ruben lent his gun purposely for the
killing of Freddie only. Ponciano's using Ruben's gun in killing a
person other than Freddie is beyond Ruben's criminal intent and willing involvement. ha.
It has been ruled that when the owner of the gun knew that it would be used to kill a
particular person. but used a knife because he did not want
Freddie's neighbors to hear the gunshot. he readily lent his gun. While there was community of design to
. Ruben's act in lending his gun was
not a necessary act to enable Ponciano to consummate the crime. he merely cooperated in carrying out the criminal plan which was
already in place (Art. Neither may Ruben be
regarded as a co-conspirator since he was not a participant in the decision-making of
Ponciano to kill Freddie.

ALTERNATIVE ANSWER:
Ruben cannot be held liable as an accomplice in the killing of Freddie because his act
of lending his gun to Ponciano did not have a relation between the acts done by the latter to
that attributed to Ruben. because the means employed
is inherently ineffectual to cause death and the crime committed must be directly linked to
the means employed.

consummated the act of killing Freddie. although done with intent to kill. (3%)
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
Ruben's liability is that of an accomplice only because he merely cooperated in
Ponciano's determination to kill Freddie. RPC).
as in fact the killing was carried out without the use of Ruben's gun. Ponciano killed Freddie. is the liability of Ruben? Explain. Even if Ruben did not lend his gun. if any. saying that he would use it to kill Freddie. the owner of the gun is not
an accomplice as to the killing of the other person. a relative of Ruben.

[a] What is delito continuado? (1%)
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
Delito continuado refers to a crime constituted by several overt acts committed by the
offender in one place. Angelo contends that he committed a continued crime. such pronouncement
cannot be applied in the instant case because the penalties for illegal possession of drugs
under RA 9165 do not follow the technical nomenclature of penalties in the RPC and thus. Although in
People v. Simon (234 SCRA 555 [1994]). My answer will not be the same because violations of Rep. 64 can be applied if the special

since each swindling is achieved through

resolution. He committed as many counts of estafa against the
500 victims and 2000 counts of violation of BP 22.
What is the "chain of custody" requirement in drug offenses? What is its rationale? What is
the effect of failure to observe the requirement? (3%)
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
"Chain of custody" requirement in drug offenses refers to the duly recorded.
authorized movement and custody of seized dangerous drugs.

amounts. He acted with
separate fraudulent intent against each swindling victim and had distinct criminal intent in
drawing and issuing each check. Angelo committed only one count of estafa and one count of violation of BP 22
because his acts were propelled by one and the same intent to defraud (Santiago v. to its turn-over and receipt in the forensic

Its rationale is to preserve the authenticity of the corpus delicti or body of the crime
by rendering it improbable that the original item seized/confiscated in the violation has been
exchanged or substituted with another or tampered with or contaminated.SUGGESTED ANSWER:
No. Tommy questioned the admissibility of the evidence
because die police officers who conducted the buy-bust operation failed to observe the requisite

exceed 6 years imprisonment. [el Suppose Joe was convicted of attempted murder with a special aggravating circumstance
and was denied suspension of sentence. the
penalty as far as Joe is concerned can only be reclusion perpetua because Rep. the prescribed penalty is two degree lower than
reclusion perpetua. Act 9344
forbids the imposition of the capital punishment upon offenders thereunder. (4%)
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
The charge of malversation through falsification is not correct because the
falsifications of several documents were not necessary means to obtain the money that were
